Disappointed to see Foster gone. I only watched him play once, but thought he showed heaps of potential in that game. Guessing I may have simply caught one of his better performances.

Pretty interested to see Peatling's name floated though - I'd be all over that like a rash. He was super impressive in the second half of the year in the GWS games I watched.

I thought he was due to sign on with someone (nit us)?

Otherwise yeah I'd be keen

 

[iameviljez]

Are any of the delisted blokes able to come back on the rookie list?

Yes, I'd imagine Foster would be first in line if that were to be the case.

 

[frggr]

That's usually reported along with the delistings, isn't it?

Hope Foster gets another crack.

 

[iameviljez]

7 delisted. They must have a few moves in play

Don't forget, Murdoch and Jeka are rookies, so just regular churn for rookie draftees.

Ah yeah good point. Did forget

Me too, but the reality is that he looked like he'd gone backwards this year.

None of the others are a shock. If you're not in the AFL side any age after your mid-20s, you aren't staying. Willis hasn't been consistent enough.

 

[dont stop me meow]

How much juice is left to extract in this orange I wonder.
I wonder how much time Atkins and MOC have left here.

Didn't we just extend O'Connor 5 months ago? What's changed (in the view of the selection committee) since then. Humphries coming on in leaps and bounds I spose?

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

No idea, he might be. I don't tend to keep my ear to the ground with trade info/rumors, but saw his name posted a few pages back.

In other words, Peatling to Geelong confirmed.

 

[Max Rooke]

So…. Do we assume Bailey will be taking #3 for next year or am I being a little presumptuous? Very sorry to see the end of Parf and Rohan. Both provided plenty of entertainment in their time at the cats. Both maligned but I think both also made the most of their abilities and finish up as Premiership players. Congrats to them both.

I was thinking he’d take 23 ala Jordan, Lebron, Warne, Doug Wade..

 

[Just do something]

So 9 players off the list so far. Maybe smith and Martin to come on. 7 drafts picks is a lot

 

[cats_09]

All of them if they nominate for the draft and we pick them up as rookies

 

[iameviljez]

Injured across much of the year, for a start.

 

[cats_09]

Stanley was reasonably good through the second half of the season, but is allegedly playing with a degenerative knee isn't he?

Duncan just looks old now, and whilst I understand the need to control the exit of our seasoned players we'll be in trouble if he plays many games next year.

I totally agree, but thinking the club will be happy to not have another 500 games of experience depart at seasons end on top of the 988 games we're already losing

If they're regular players next year, then we're potentially in trouble but they will have value in terms of working with the next gen

 

[Lingsface]

We just delisted 7!
What is the plan? Big Off Season?

 

[cats_09]

So 9 players off the list so far. Maybe smith and Martin to come on. 7 drafts picks is a lot

3 of those picks are potential rookie selections - not uncommon for us to take a few rookie picks

 

[CatToTheFuture]

So, we're now up to 6 off the senior list:

• Hawkins (359) & Tuohy (288), retired
• Foster (0), Parfitt (130), Rohan (204) & Willis (0), delisted

3 off the rookie list:

• Hardie (0), Jeka (7) & Murdoch (0), delisted

That's currently 988 games of experience off the list

We started the season with 3,900 games experience, added 575 over the year to get to 4,475. Losing 988 we now have 3,487 games experience.

North in 2016 ended the season with 4,500 and went into 2017 with 3,072.

Delisting Duncan, Stanley, and Bews would result in another 677 games lost, bringing us to 2,810. Adding Martin and Smith gets us to 3,064 going into next year.

This numbers are remarkably close. They lost an EF, we lost a PF. Eesh

Zero surprises with the delistings.
Happy to trade away our first couple of picks for known talent and have Wells/Mackie roll the dice with late & rookie picks.
It’s worked for us over the last decade and it’s right in their wheelhouse.

 

[Lingsface]

It is a deep draft maybe we are confident of getting better players at the back end and middle than what we already have. No standouts but some of the mid rangers seem to be close to the quality of top 15 players.

 

[Strange Cat]

7 trades …this is going to be interesting

 

[cats_09]

Disappointed to see Foster gone. I only watched him play once, but thought he showed heaps of potential in that game. Guessing I may have simply caught one of his better performances.

Pretty interested to see Peatling's name floated though - I'd be all over that like a rash. He was super impressive in the second half of the year in the GWS games I watched.

It's interesting because one report said that Peatling was meeting with Vic clubs yesterday - normally they say Melbourne clubs unless we're also involved

 

[CatToTheFuture]

I guess we can finally put to bed the notion that Hardie will be making his senior debut next season...

Or can we?

#RichmondHasEnteredTheChat

 

[cats_09]

Or can we?

#RichmondHasEnteredTheChat

Don't worry, there's people on social media who seem genuinely surprised we delisted a 27yr old mid who hasn't yet debuted

 

[CatToTheFuture]

Stanley is a different kettle of fish, being a ruckman - it's too specialised a position for this.

Duncan? Well, he played 22 games this year, so I see him being fit for roughly 18 next year.

I would say 10 mad for Mitch. If he's getting 18 then why wouldn't you keep him?

 

[Lingsface]

Dustin Martin to the cats?

 

[cats_09]

Dustin Martin to the cats?

Yep

3-yr deal to be announced in coming weeks
